The List - 6 Villains That Saved the Day
anime
Sometimes all it takes to save the day is a bad guy with a change of heart. Here are six anime where the villain became the hero!
― The heroes might be the stars of the show, but a work of fiction is really made by an awesome antagonist. Someone the audience loves to hate or finds catharsis through a villain's disregard for the rules in lieu of getting what they want. The audience grows attachment t...
Die Wergelder GN 1
manga
Hiroaki Samura subtitles his new series "Bad Bitch Action," and while that's only true of a few of the characters, this is still an intense, disturbing, and sometimes funny series that means it when it says its for mature audiences.
― Can you put a price on a life? According to the ancient Germanic practice of wergeld (also spelled “wergild”), you sure can – the word means “man payment” and refers to...

The first part of Reed Nelson's mega guide to the entire Lupin the Third franchise covers the best episodes from every single season of Lupin's television adventures!

Sailor Moon R Part II BD+DVD
anime
The quality is better (although not perfect) in Viz's release of the second half of Sailor Moon R, where Chibi-Usa's true history (and goal) is revealed.
― Arguably, part two of Sailor Moon R, the second of five original seasons in what has come to be known as Sailor Moon Classic, is where the story starts to get good. Less subjectively, it's where the story returns to the manga storyline (more or le...
Vinland Saga GN 7
manga
The tale of Ketil's farm comes to an end here as Thorfinn puts his new "first resort" for conflict into practice in this chapter of Makoto Yukimura's Viking saga.

Sword Art Online: Progressive Novel 3
novels
Some aspects of the writing improve as the story moves to a new floor which poses fresh types of challenges, but other problems still linger.
― One of the most appealing features of the Progressive retelling of SAO's Aincard story arc is that it has the time to explore all the floor-to-floor variations which make Aincard the dynamic setting that it should have been. That is more evident in this novel...

Answerman - What Are Japanese Student Councils REALLY Like?
anime
Is it true that high school student councils in Japan are all-powerful organizations that rule the nation's high schools with an iron fist and limitless resources? Not quite.

Review: Tamako Market Blu-Ray
anime
Tamako Market may not reach the heights of its director’s previous work, but is still a polished and endearing effort.
― Tamako Market is a less-storied entry in the Kyoto Animation canon, but certainly not for lack of talent. The show represents the reunion of director Naoko Yamada and series composer Reiko Yoshida, the team responsible for the blockbuster hit K-On!, its sequel, and its indulgent bu...
